Saturday Morning Feb 18th

 Well Friday was another busy day and a long trip to Ft, Meyers to watch Keswick play in the second round of regional play against a very good team. Our girls were out played after the second long trip this week but we will be back next year as we lose only one starting senior. I'm sure we will be a team to be reckon with the next two years as most of our starting team is sophomores.

I started the day with a before 6 roll out to my usual morning routines of some quiet time after posting this ramble to honor my LORD, give thanks and lift several up for comfort and healing, all seem as well as can be expected due to ages and health concerns. I wasn't plying PB until 11'ish so I headed out to hand water the gardens around 9 them loaded up the old lawn mower and new one I got from neighbor Bobby in the truck and headed down to a local lawn mower repair shop to see about getting the cable replaced that starts the 4 WD as it broke last time and it was a job pushing this mower.

I headed off around 10:45 for the Rec with a stop at the library for a couple new reads on the way. We had 4 players for PB at 11:15 and played for an hour with great rallies. We all left after an hour where we changed partners at least 5 times and I only lost once with the only gal among us; unfortunately she never won with any of her partners and she is really a good player. I came back and had a bite of lunch then took a shower as we were being picked up around 2:30 by Amy and Tyler for the 2 1/2 hour trip down south. The traffic was at a standstill many times on I-75 and it took nearly twice as long to get there as to come back. That area south of Tampa is exploding with growth and while they are upgrading the interstates there is just too much growth with so many from up north moving to Florida.

Sister Dee and Mike have arrived at their campground not too far from us and we will see them this morning as we travel to Brandon for Gabe's ball game at 1PM. Nancy is planning on having them for supper and then to catch up and play some games later in the evening. They will be here for close to two weeks so we should have some fun times, eating, beach going and playing games with friends. Their youngest daughter's family is moving this way as he will be stationed at MacDill AFB for a couple of years and so they will be down more often and now can move around to different campground with their pull behind trailer, LATER
